  • Description: [...]at the early stage of Communism it was allowed to teach Islam at Soviet secular schools, which would have been unthinkable in regards to Christian education. The authors describe how during the Soviet times the 'official' Islamic trend turned in a conservative direction, condemning other (especially Sufi) Muslim traditions. [...]the authors argue, 'official' Islam "nearly con-formed to the anti-religious propaganda of [So¬viet] state and party" (p. 224). A common, internationally accepted citation system of Soviet archival material would make it easier to follow up on the archiv¬al material. [...]a common transliteration of religious terms should have been made, e.g. in some articles Islamic cultural endowments are spelled waqf, yet in another vaqf.
